"Can Our Democracy Survive the Supreme Court?" Trevor Potter, former head, Federal Elections Commission

Trevor Potter, one of the country's best-known and most experienced campaign and election lawyers, is Stephen Colbert's SuperPAC lawyer and a former Federal Election Commission chairman. He currently leads the political law practice of Caplin & Drysdale in Washington, D.C. Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall · 4:30 p.m.– 6:00 p.m.
